Re: Movin on up
 
my girl had a red one - manual too
it's actually pretty bad ass but they tried way too hard to compete with the 3 series...
all the way down to the orange instrument lights

surprisingly i liked the auto a little better than the stick - theres just something about the notchyness of the gear box that bothered me

Those cars just feel pretty solid, from the ride, to the low amount of noise that works its way into the cabin aswell as the sound of the engine at wot.

I have always loved those. I've heard they aren't that fast, but I wouldn't buy one to be fast. I just like the looks and style of themm. :y Luxury, style, and a small bit of performance works for me. :6 You can always make them fast if you need to. I seen one fully built with a moster turbo on Egay sell a few years back for like $30k. It was VERY nice and EVERYTHING was built, not just the motor. :6

no he doesn't. it's the stock motor and he's frontin' like it's a supra.

how many bolts/mounts of the IS did he use to bolt on the "supra" engine?
